Graphs are widely used modeling tools that represent objects and their relation (links). Graph modeled data are found in diverse application areas including bioinformatics, cheminformatics, social networks, wireless sensor networks among many others. In this talk we will survey the field of graph mining and graph learning, present our recent work on various directions, with a focus on scalable algorithmic approaches for big graph data. Related topics, such as multi-task learning and multi-view learning will be touched. At the end of the talk we will briefly introduce the applications of graph mining and learning techniques in selected application areas.
